Verse 1:

C
I had a dream that I woke up, behind the wheel of a pick up truck
Am
A black dog in the road, swerve to miss it and the wheel got stuck
F
Came back to reality, to find my mortality
C
Still staring me straight in the eye, it was looking straight down at me
C
Not even a year went by, the evening that I came to find
Am
A black dog on river street, on it's chest was a little white stripe
F
Took him back to my hideaway, across the alley from the library
C
I told him everything will be okay, I told him everything will be alright

Chorus:

F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when I look at your face, I could see my reflection
C
You could never fall from grace, you taught me so many lessons
F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when he'd see me crying, lick the tears from my face
C
Always a best friend of mine and, there will always be a trace

Verse 2:

C
Loved the feel of the kick drum, used to fall asleep right next to it
Am
A black dog with a kind soul, had a bone but he never would chew it
F
Like the white cadejo he'd protect if anyone stepped to ya
C
Throw a ball and took off running, never bring that ball back to you
C
A lifetime now a memory, the incarnation of a reverie brooding
Am
Never will be dead to me, wouldn't believe you if you showed me proof
F
I dig down in my treasury, part of me like a wisdom tooth
C
I pull it out and the pain rushed in, I never thought that it would come this soon

Chorus:

F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when I look at your face, I could see my reflection
C
You could never fall from grace, you taught me so many lessons
F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when he'd see me crying, lick the tears from my face
C
Always a best friend of mine and, there will always be a trace
F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when I look at your face, I could see my reflection
C
You could never fall from grace, you taught me so many lessons
F (barred 8th fret)            Am (barred 5th fret)
And when he'd see me crying, lick the tears from my face
C
Always a best friend of mine and, there will always be a trace

Bridge:

Em                   F             C
I miss you so badly, wish you were around right now
Em                            F                         Am         C    G
We'd walk through the alley and follow the sound of the sun going down
